How does the original Canon EOS compare to the Canon Rebel T2i?

I have an original Canon EOS from the early 90's and I'm looking to upgrade to my first digital SLR camera. Besides the obvious difference of digital vs film, are these cameras functionally similar? The old EOS has your basic manual functions and some "modes" as well as an auto mode. Can I expect similar functionality from the T2i?


Answer
Hey,

Buying a T2i for your first DSLR would be the best option right now. Its much better than any other DSLR from competition at same price.

It has an Auto mode, though I recommend you to slowly start with Manual mode. It has manual focus (all lenses).

It's like your old SLR, but with an LCD, less noise than all of those films, great video and other stuff.

Here's a review of the T2i: http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2010/06/canon-eos-550dt2i-dslr-review.html

Here's a post called 'Buying a DSLR, what's important, megapixels, features, brand, price, quality and which one to buy - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/03/which-dslr-to-buy.html

Good luck! The site has many more tutorials, tips, reviews and guides!

What camera is the best for my money?

I am looking at the cannon rebel and the nikon d40, but I am not really set on anything. Can you let me know what camera I can get that will be the best quality for my money? Please include the price and a link to the camera. Thanks so much.


Answer
The Nikon D40 has been discontinued and replaced by the Nikon D3000. The Canon XS is almost 3 yrs. old and behind in technology.

I suggest looking at the Pentax K-x which was chosen by the Technical Image Press Association as their 2010 "Best DSLR Entry Level". The K-x has these features:

1) A CMOS sensor which gives superior performance at high ISO settings.

2) Live View.

3) HD Video.

4) Double/multiple exposure capability of from 2 to 9 images on a single frame with Auto EV Compensation. This feature opens a whole new world of creativity to you.

5) A focusing motor in the camera body so any Pentax AF lens made since 1988 can be used on the K-x and will auto focus as it should.

6) Image Stabilization in the camera body so any lens used becomes an IS lens.

7) A choice of camera body colors so you don't have to settle for a black camera unless you want to.

Here is a hands-on review of the Pentax K-x:

The Nikon D3000 has NONE of the features of the Pentax K-x. NONE.

Here are the current prices with an 18-55mm zoom lens from B&H:

Pentax K-x, $489.95

Nikon D3000, $499.95 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 01-08-2011.

Canon XS, $499.95 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Ends 01-08-2011.

So you can pay $10.00 MORE for a lesser camera like the Canon XS or Nikon D3000 or you can save $10.00 and get all the features of the K-x.

If the Pentax K-x isn't the best value available then I've no idea what a best value is.
